Happy 6th Birthday!

When they put my daughter into my arms, I cried tears of joy and felt waves of overwhelming love course through my body. I knew at that moment this little gal was mine to take care of. I was impressed that by being a parent I had taken a step into a new world, the world of grown ups and of course, diapers.

Tomorrow my daughter will wake up as a 6 year old and I wake up the mother of a 6 year old.
So much has been shown to me through her.
Eyes that saw the wonder in a colorful toy, or that voice that giggled at me tickling her.
Ears that heard countless stories read to her and listened with all their might.
Hands that have held mine as we crossed the street.
Her mind that is so quick to remember a fact or process information.
A heart that beats for Jesus and spreads her love for him.
There is so much that makes up who Bella is and how she is growing. It would take me a thousand blogs to fully describe just what makes this little gal tick.
There are a million memories formed from the past 6 years. I have a phenomenal helper in the kitchen, a girl whose stories could rival CS Lewis, a philospher, artist and a want to be vet!

I am so excited for age 6 and look forward to many more birthdays!

Happy Birthday Bella Bean!
